2021 Map of Chin Creek Spring

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Chin Creek Spring and numerous other water sources define this arid landscape at the border of Elko and White Pine counties. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Antelope Range and the Boone Spring Hills, where natural drainages like Kinsley Draw and Antelope Wash channel seasonal runoff through the high desert. Historically significant to travelers and ranchers, these springs represent the vital water points of the Great Basin, including Stockade Springs, Lookout Springs, and Willow Patch Spring. The presence of Chin Creek Rd provides the primary access through this remote territory. These features illustrate the precarious nature of settlement and land use in eastern Nevada, where survival has always depended on specific, named watering holes such as Chokecherry Spring and North Cottonwood Spring.
